I just purchased a *brand new* 3Com Etherlink III, still sealed in the original box. New old stock I assume.

I can ping my FTP server or google, and get decent responses, around 2-4ms. However, Iím getting *painfully* slow LAN speeds over FTP (which Iíve heard should be the fastest way to connect). I struggle to get more than a 5K/s connection, either from single files or directories. It often takes about 10 seconds to copy even a simple small readme.

Iím curious to try EasyNet, but for some maddening reason itís only available on physical CDÖ FROM EUROPE. Which is like a 2-3 week shipping minimum. Pretty pathetic to not offer a download version on 2016. I doubt I would fair any better with EasyNet, but iím curious to try AmigaKitís PCMCIA card / EasyNet combo, if it ever comes back in stock.

SoÖ what am I doing wrong? I know that the Amigaís PCMCIA slot isnít the fastest, but jeez it almost feels like it would be faster to transcribe the 1s and 0s by hand at this point. I know itís only a 10Mb card too, but even with my CPU speed (or lack of) and ethernet overhead, I should be getting at least 1 Mb per second, right?
